Apple tried to give me a present but i think it gave me a nightmare instead

I sent my macbook into apple repair. Apple sent me a new (empty/blank) macbook as replacement. But now I've got a problem...
My itunes library is all on my ipod, BUT, i can't transfer it onto the new computer's itunes library. I can't use the ipod as a storage drive because I don't all my music on the ipod as a disk use folder.
Any solutions? Thanks for any help you can offer!

download and install a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti on your Mac computer, use this software to copy the music from your iPod to iTunes on your Mac

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
    I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
    Open Office is free, you can download it here:

  • Apple tried to help w/iPad crashes, but it's starting all over again.

    I have done multiple resets, wipes, virtually everything suggested for the Safari crashes on this forum. No joy. Getting to a genius bar is physically difficult for me, so I finally contacted Apple via email and to their credit, they called me in less than 24 hours. After sharing my own rants with the first person I spoke with about the problems with ios 5, I was transferred to tech support. The tech person walked me through what I had experienced so far, and his first response was that we needed to determine if I was having a hardware or a software problem. He suggested that there might be a problem with the the original upgrade download file, so he walked me through deleting the "ipsw" file from the Library on my MacBook Pro. I did a complete wipe of my iPad 1, created a new iTunes library on my MacBook, re-downloaded the 5.0.1 update file and set up my iPad as a new iPad. I then tried things out with only the native apps installed, and used Safari for a couple of hours and everything seemed fine. I re-downloaded apps directly from the App store - I did not copy any apps from the old iTunes folder, just in case there were corrupted apps. This all happened almost 2 weeks ago and for awhile everything seemed fine. Then the crashes started up again, and have been accelerating in frequency over the past 3 days. This morning I've had two Safari crashes in one hour with nothing running in the task bar and only two tabs open in Safari. Other crashes have occurred when using the App store, email, and other functions, so it's not just Safari that's crashing. The main point that came out of all this is that IT'S NOT MY IPAD THAT'S THE PROBLEM, which tech support agreed with. I hope this info helps someone else at least determine if their iPad is functioning properly. I did finally turn on the Debug console in Safari and found out that Facebook plugins to different websites create many Safari errors. If anyone else has had experience with replacing the "ipsw" file and then doing a clean restore of their iPad, I'd like know how it worked/did not work for you.

    I agree completely. I posted my experience in hopes of saving someone else a trip to the genius bar, and also to see if others had tried or been told to try this. I've read a lot of posts about wiping and restoring but no discussion about the original ipsw file download (sorry if I missed it elsewhere). It was clear from my discussions with Customer Service and Tech Support that Apple DOES read these discussions, so that was another factor in my posting. I did call the tech guy and leave him a message as to the latest developments -as per his request - but haven't heard back from him yet. During our original conversation he stated that he hasn't had any crashes on his iPad - good for him, but what does that mean for the rest of us? I pointed out to both reps that I've never seen it take so long to get a serious bug fix out of Apple.....all the stuff others are saying, with no really reassuring response from them that a fix is imminent. I hope each and every person experiencing this calls and calls Apple until something finally happens! The guys I dealt with were very nice, but I still have the same problems!! AND, I'm curious as to why things work o.k. for awhile after the restores, but then the crashes suddenly accelerate - this is my 4th try with the same results.

  • I'm trying to give BT more money, but the "system"...

    I'm losing my mind here.
    I have recently became aware of BT's decision to remove usage restrictions during peak hours for certain types of traffic (e.g. Peer to peer). As an existing Infinity customer ("BT Infinity Option 2") I would like to get rid of these usage restrictions as they're the only part of my current service that I find frustrating.
    So my plan, as a (once) happy BT customer, was to recontract to "Unlimited BT Infinity 2" and by doing so extend my stay with BT by at least 6 months (my current contract expires in April).
    This is where the fun starts...
    My first attempt to upgrade was through the website. It was on MyBT that I discovered the newer packages and attempted to upgrade immediately, however towards the end of the process the website gave me an error message of 'service unavailable'. 
    I assumed the website was broken and so rang the customer options team, who promptly informed me that I was on the best possible package and it was completely unlimited. As I hadn't tested any P2P applications since finding out about the change in usage restrictions (I didn't realise at the time that they had been introduced in February) I gave them the benefit of the doubt. 
    Unsurprisingly, the next time I tried to use a P2P based application during peak hours the throttling was still evident. After doing more research on the subject it was clear that my current package would still have the same usage restrictions it had always had and that I clearly needed to upgrade. Armed with more specific product names, I tried to ring BT again...
    This time I resisted the "But you're already on the best package" speech and tried to explain the difference between a download limit and traffic shaping - by the way, I find it annoying that not one of the sales team (all of whom work for a major internet service provider) I spoke to seemed to understand the difference. Eventually I was transferred to the technical department, which was useful in this case as I could check once and for all if the usage restriction was still active on my line, 30 minutes of language-barrier-awkwardness later we decided it clearly was. At this point, the lady informed me that she had put notes on my account and that I was to contact the options team the following day for further advice.
    I did just that. After explaining the difference between download/traffic restrictions the sales advisor, after consultation with his manager, informed me that I would be unable to recontract until my current contract expired. This didn't make any sense to me and I proceeded to send a complaint email to BT asking why they were so against me giving the company more money and to get in contact with me to resolve the issue.
    They contacted me today. And, as you can probably tell by the tone and length of this rant, they didn't resolve the issue. After the usual back and forth about download vs traffic restrictions the lady informed me in no uncertain terms that there was nothing they could do as the system would simply not allow me to get Unlimited BT Infinity 2. This seems bizarre to me as all the availability checks I have run clearly list the following:
    - BT Infinity 1
    - Unlimited BT Infinity 1
    - Unlimited BT Infinity 2
    The "system" at BT clearly has the final word. I find it very difficult, however, to believe that the reason I cannot get the service is because it is not available in my area. Removing P2P restrictions doesn't seem like it would require any major hardware changes so I believe that the "system" is simply blocking my ability to get rid of the P2P restriction as I am an existing customer.
    If it is available for new customers in my area, then it is an insult to us all that BT can put the following on their website:
    Some Internet service providers put restrictions on certain types of Internet traffic or limit how much you can download or upload which means at peak times of day, customers may experience slower speeds.
    We don't think that's a good enough experience for BT customers so we have made all of our unlimited products 'Totally Unlimited'.
    Does anybody know if there is any truth to the 'unavailable' story? Is the availability checker on the BT website broken? Has anyone had similar issues trying to recontract? Is Sky broadband any good...?
    Sorry for the rant... If you got this far, thank you for reading!

  • I'm trying to download a powerpoint presentation but it won't open in powerpoint.

    I just switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and now I cannot get files to open in the proper program. I am currently downloading Powerpoint files which used to open in Powerpoint automatically. Then I would save them to my hard drive or thumb drive. Now they just open online as if they are an internet window and I can't save them at all. Are there some settings I can adjust so the computer knows what programs to open things with like it used to? Please help. I'm not very computer literate.
    Thank you very much.

    Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    ''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
    There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Another poster said that if you sign out of your iTunes Store account, go to the item you wish to gift, and select "gift" and go through the purchase process, it will then ask you for your account information and send the gift. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth a go.

  • After a notice of update, I was unable to use iTunes. It said I had a missing dll file and a Windows error 7. I removed iTunes and tried to reinstall. I selected the download items off the apple site. It says thank you but still not there.

    Having problems downloading iTunes. After an update notice, I was unable to open iTunes. I de-installed and attempted to reinstall it and it still won't open.
    The first error duirn the update was a dll file missing, then a Windows error 7. The screen on the Apple site say  Thank you for downloading, but still not there.

    A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
    From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
    I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
    This was what was said.
    Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Just got a new iPhone 6, selling my 5 to Amazon. Trying to follow Apple instructions to erase content before sending but 5 will not connect to iCloud so I can't proceed - when promoted to enter password I keep getting "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud". I have checked apple id/password multiple times and they are correct. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

    HFJ,
    every once in a while my iPhone 5 fails to recognize my Apple ID. I don't have to go all the way to Restore to Factory Settings, I just have to turn off the phone. (Hold down top button until screen asks to slide if you want to turn it off.)  Give it a few seconds, turn it on again.
